Bringing Northwest Minnesota Values to the Capitol

JOBS & THE ECONOMY

Dan worked to bring much-needed workforce housing to Northwest Minnesota for students and workers who can find a job but can't find a place to live.

Investing in Our Community

Dan spearheaded a new law to help Digi-Key in Thief River Falls expand, giving a boost to our local economy and creating as many as 1,000 new good-paying jobs in our area. ﻿

Dan also advocated for legislation to move forward with the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement Pipeline. This project will not only be safer and better for our environment, but it will also create good-paying jobs, generate revenue for our communities, and provide a real economic boost for Northwest Minnesota.

STANDING UP FOR HARDWORKING FAMILIES

Working for Taxpayers

Dan is on the side of hardworking taxpayers, and this biennium he supported the largest tax relief package in nearly twenty years, helping seniors on Social Security, families with child care expenses, graduates with student loan debt, farmers, Main Street businesses and taxpayers keep more of their hard-earned money.

He also fought back against Governor Dayton's billion dollar tax increase proposal and a harmful gas tax increase.

Finally, following federal tax reform passed in late 2017, Dan supported legislation to simplify the filing process and deliver middle-class tax relief to Minnesotans to ensure taxpayers can take full advantage of both state and federal tax relief.

Protecting Rural Interests and Local Control

Dan served as a strong voice for the people of rural Minnesota over the past two years, authoring commonsense legislation for the people and priorities of our community. He worked hard to retain local control for schools and local governments, and spearheaded innovative policies that work for folks in rural Minnesota.

Finally, Dan championed commonsense school safety investments to help keep Minnesota students and educators safe in the classroom and address student mental health.

RURAL HEALTH CARE

Fighting for Seniors

Thanks to Dan's support, nearly 284,000 senior citizen tax filers received tax reductions, with 72,000 no longer paying state income tax on their Social Security benefits.

Dan also supported a comprehensive bill package to address elder abuse, hold state agencies accountable for shortcomings on investigations, enhance patient rights and improve transparency for seniors and their families.

Working to Lower Health Care Costs

Dan supported critically needed reforms that helped turn around three years of double-digit premium increases, helping families who have been hurt by Obamacare.

Thanks to these reforms, a 25 percent rebate was passed in 2017, that increased affordability﻿ and ensured folks could continue to access life-saving treatment.

Dan also supported a nationally recognized Premium Security Plan that put a stop to out-of-control price increases, reducing premiums by 20 percent on average and bring stability to the individual market.

Dan was a strong voice at the Capitol for health care reforms, helping folks in Greater Minnesota hurt by Obamacare and MNsure.

AGRICULTURE

Dan helped secure additional flexibility for both farm and landowners working to comply with buffer requirements, securing a waiver option to provide more time.

And thanks to his support of comprehensive tax relief, 240,000 farmers will see property tax relief, as the bill reduces their disproportionate share of school district debt service.

ROADS AND BRIDGES﻿

Dan advocated for long-term transportation funding that prioritizes our state's roads and bridges. That's why he voted for the largest investment in transportation infrastructure in state history--all without a harmful gas tax increase.

What's more, he helped secure funding for small city road projects and stopped state taxpayer dollars from funding ongoing operating costs for the Twin Cities' Southwest Light Rail boondoggle.

YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS

﻿Dan worked with folks from across the state to strengthen your Second Amendment rights and pushed back against measures that threatened the rights of gun owners.

Dan will continue to champion legislation that protects the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens, hunters and gun owners.
